How long does delivery take?

In-stock items are typically dispatched within 48 hours. Delivery times vary depending on your location — most UK mainland orders arrive within 3–5 working days. See our Delivery page for full details.

How do I calculate how many tiles I need?

Measure the length and width of your area in metres and multiply them together to get the square meterage. We recommend adding 10% extra for standard cuts, 15% for more complex layouts, and 20% for diagonal patterns. You can use the coverage calculator on any tile product page.

What is the difference between matt and glossy tiles?

Matt tiles have a flat, non-reflective finish that hides footprints and watermarks — ideal for floors and high-traffic areas. Glossy tiles reflect light, making spaces feel larger and brighter, and are popular for walls and bathrooms. Both finishes are available across most of our tile ranges.

Can I use floor tiles on walls?

Many of our tiles are suitable for both floor and wall use — check the "Suitable for" field on each product page. Floor tiles are generally heavier, so always ensure your wall substrate is strong enough to support them and use the correct adhesive.

What grout gap should I use?

For most large-format porcelain tiles, a 2–3mm grout gap is standard. Rectified tiles (precision-cut) can be laid with a 1.5mm gap. For natural stone or handmade tiles, a wider 5–10mm gap is typical. Our team can advise on the best gap for your specific tiles.

Do you offer trade accounts?

Yes — we offer trade pricing and dedicated accounts for builders, tilers, developers and interior designers. Visit our Trade page or call us on 02038768117 to find out more.

What is your returns policy?

We accept returns on unused, undamaged tiles in their original packaging within 28 days of purchase. Please contact us before returning any items. Custom orders and cut tiles cannot be returned. For damaged or incorrect goods, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

Can I get a quote before ordering?

Absolutely — use the Contact page or call 02038768117 and our team will put together a detailed quote for your project, including tiles, adhesive and any accessories you need.

Are your tiles frost-resistant?

Our outdoor and patio tile range is specifically selected for frost resistance and outdoor use. Indoor tiles are not rated for outdoor conditions. Look for "Outdoor" in the product category or ask our team if you're unsure.
